SeaKettle Life Raft Provides Shelter, Drinking Water

If you're ever unlucky enough to get lost at sea, there are two main things you'll have to deal with (besides the bickering of your raft mates): the weather, and a lack of fresh drinking water. The charmingly named SeaKettle aims to solve both of these problems by providing shelter and a process that desalinates seawater, making it drinkable.

A U.S. nominee for the Dyson design award, the SeaKettle uses a process that involves pumping sea water to a reserve where it is then subject to evaporation. Once the evaporated water hits the top of the raft and condenses, it then trickles down to four conveniently placed drinking pouches inside the raft. According to the creators, the raft can provide enough water for up to five passengers.

The insulated raft, meanwhile, is comprised of a number of different materials--including vinyl, PVC, Gore-Tex, and Ripstop vinyl--all designed to help protect passengers from the elements.
